Reduction in the yield and quality of coffee results from the adult female CBB boring into the coffee fruit and building galleries for reproduction, followed by larval feeding on the bean itself. This review examines the invasion biology of CBB in various coffee-growing regions throughout the world, comparing and contrasting patterns in historically invaded countries with those that were more recently invaded. The situation in Hawaii is highlighted as a case study for the development and implementation of a successful integrated pest management (IPM) program following 10 years of research and outreach.

  • 4 Berry-Feeding Insects
    4 Berry-feeding Insects Introduction Many of the insects that feed on green berries are also found on leaves or green shoots, and these are dealt with in Chapter 5. These include scale insects (Coccoidea) of various kinds, leaf-eating caterpillars (Lepidoptera) in several families, mites (Acari) and some Orthoptera, including grasshoppers and tree crickets. The insects dealt with in this chapter include the more important species that feed primarily on berries, although Antestia bugs can damage green shoots also. Coffee Berry Borer Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) [Coleoptera: Scolytidae] Morphology The female adult beetle is 1.5–2.0 mm long × 1 mm wide; the adult male is smaller, but this can vary somewhat from place to place, American specimens being somewhat smaller than Old World specimens. When first emerging, the beetle is brown, but as it matures over the next few days it becomes black, with a reddish tinge to the thorax. The pupae are a similar length to the adult and the larvae are a little smaller, having a white body and brown head (see Fig. 4.1). © J.M. Waller, M. Bigger and R.J. Hillocks 2007. Coffee Pests, Diseases and their 68 Management (J.M. Waller, M. Bigger and R.J. Hillocks) Berry-feeding Insects 69 Fig. 4.1. Adult and larva of Hypothenemus hampei. Pest status and distribution A serious pest in many countries of low-altitude arabica and robusta coffee (CABI, 1981). Damage by the coffee berry borer is rarely severe at altitudes > 1370 m, and this species has not been found > 1680 m. The centre of origin of the species is in some doubt, but must have been somewhere in West or Central Africa.
